Round pellets - for fun and recreational shooting, in my opinion. Accuracy is definitely a bit worse than diabolo-type pellets. If they cost less than diabolo it would be okay, otherwise it’s just a curiosity, maybe for very short distances.
Lead pellets for airguns in 4.5 mm caliber, produced by Gamo. Each pack includes 250 rounds.
Spanish-made spherical lead pellets, designed for 4.5 mm air rifles. In contrast to steel BB rounds, these are also compatible with rifled barrels.
A round profile allows the pellet to spin within the barrel, which influences both ballistic performance and penetration characteristics.
Not intended for use in smoothbore airguns with row magazines that fire 4.46 mm spherical BB type steel pellets.

I bought the round lead pellet out of curiosity; it is not perfectly round and has some minor defects, which affects grouping. However, the biggest advantage is that compared to steel BBs, it does not damage the rifling and does not ricochet.
-
Round lead pellet fits nicely into the barrel no matter how you insert it. No major visible deformations. Recreational accuracy, rather for backyard distances.
-
The round lead pellet is definitely safer for both the barrel and the shooter—it does not ricochet after hitting hard targets. Bought out of curiosity for a PCA type air rifle without rifling—for close range it's okay, but minus for the price as you can get regular Gamo diabolo pellets for the same amount.

The pellet is similar to ordinary steel BBs but is made of lead, so it doesn't ricochet. You can also safely put it in rifled barrels. At close range for kids, it’s definitely good – and the screw-on can is a plus too.
-
Good round-shaped bullet, classic and fast, I like it. I can recommend this bullet. It is more regular in shape than in the picture. It enters the rifled air rifle with slight resistance, allowing the groove inside the barrel to bite in. I recommend it to others as well.
-
Good shot, definitely suitable for rifled air rifles. Very good penetration, rather for shooting at close and medium distances. No pellet deformations.
-
The spherical shape provides the pellet with a rotational movement already in the barrel, which affects ballistics and penetration. Penetrates cans well.
-
Very good pellet. I use it in the Crossman Vigilante air rifle as an alternative to steel BB pellets. It's really good quality, does not get stuck in the barrel or magazine. For the price, it’s worth buying.
-
For this price, it's acceptable.
-
Excellent quality bullets with great features, accurate, so I recommend them to others as well.
-
Very accurate, perfect for destroying targets.
-
Good mass, it flies nicely, but many balls are too small, so the regularity (uniformity) of size needs improvement.
-
I can recommend this pellet. It is more regular in shape than in the photo. It enters the rifled air rifle with slight resistance, meaning it allows the barrel's rifling to bite into it. I use them in the Umarex Cowboy Rifle, it holds well in the shell, and the price is very decent for shooting with a Winchester. Steel balls bounced off metal plates.
-
I followed the recommendation that for a rifled barrel, it should be lead. I didn't notice a difference from steel ones, although they are heavier.
